Prosecutors To Finish Rebuttal With Forensic Expert

Judge Again Refuses To Sequester Jury

 

POSTED: 6:57 a.m. PDT July 30, 2002
UPDATED: 7:02 a.m. PDT July 30, 2002
The rebuttal case against accused child killer David Westerfield is expected to end today after prosecutors put a forensic expert from Hawaii on the stand.
altWatch The Trial Live
Discuss The Van Dam Murder Case
M. Lee Goff, a professor of forensic sciences in Hawaii, is expected to testify about when Danielle van Dam's body was dumped off a road in Dehesa. The 7-year-old girl was reported missing from her Sabre Springs home on the morning of Feb. 2. Searchers discovered her body on Feb. 27.
Westerfield, 50, is charged with murder, kidnapping and special circumstance allegations that could lead to the death penalty if he's convicted of killing the 7-year-old. He is also charged with misdemeanor possession of child pornography.

Monday, Judge William Mudd rejected another defense request to sequester the jury. But he said jurors could still be sequestered, and he asked the county to prepare a plan in case it becomes necessary.

Dusek's nightmare

"I have plotted the data here in 4 dimensions, using time, temperature, dewpoint, and solar insolance, using a 5 sigma probablity matrix and 16 polynominal regression analysis. I gathered weather data from three geometrically obtuse locations using GPS and NWS data, corrected for distance and wind direction, velocity, and turbulance. Using the exact altitude of the Dehesa location, we can see here that the first 2 duds were right."

Has anybody brought up the possible connection between no sequestration and Mudd's desire to take a vacation mid trial?

Mudd couldn't very well go on vacation with a sequestered jury, could he?

More appeal bait.

THANK GOD I'M A COUNTRY BOY - John Denver

THAT'S RIGHT I'M AN ENTOMOLOGIST
(Life on the Body Farm!)-FDA

Well life on our farm is kinda grotesque
Experiments and theories put your nose to the test..
It's early to rise, early in the sack:
I am an Entomologist.....

A forensic kind of life where the "bugz" don't lie
Pigs are getting riper in the bright sunlight.
My days are all filled with tweezers and some gloves..
I am an Entomologist.....

CHORUS:
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
We fire up the barbe cooking Pork Chops....woa...
But the walks at night will chill ya to your soul...
I am an Entomologist.....

I'd play with my Ant Farm, all day long,
but the gub-ment wouldn't let me do it for long.
So I fiddle with my beetles in the noon day son....
I am an Entomologist.....

I wouldn't trade my life for money or fame,
I get to fly round the country telling folks the same...
I am a hired gun, you just tell me what to say.....
I am an Entomologist.....

Yeah, the Ortho man makes my heart run cold...
a lotta precious bugs killed with one spray hose....
Well, if he trys it here he'll taste the barrel of my gun...
I am an Entomologist.....

I have plotted the data here in 4 dimensions,
using time, temperature, dewpoint, and solar insolance..
16 polynominal regression analysis. (Thank's JJ!!)
I am an Entomologist.....

I love the littel creepies and crawlers their cute...
Sometimes I carry Blo-Flies inside of my suit...
Ants and Hornets and Spiders, too....
I am an Entomologist.....

CHORUS:
When the work's all done and the sun's settin' low
We fire up the barbe cooking Pork Chops....woa...
But the walks at night will chill ya to your soul...
I am an Entomologist.....

BARBED= Having reached the point of being too hot to handle for either the prosecution OR the defense.

BEETLEMANIA= resulting frenzy of hard-shelled insects when their party is moved to another location and postponed for another two weeks.

BUGOLOGIST=hound: a person who is an amateur entomologist who is convinced that the bugs have stated that DW is innocent regardless of blood, fibers, hair and child porn.

BUGOUT= When the first entomology forensics expert hired and normally used by the Prosecution is used to support the defense. As a result, the Prosecution goes out and hires another bug guy from far away that will testify the way he is told.

CHAMELEON-FIBER= a "dull orange" fiber that perfectly matches a "bright orange" fiber when viewed through the world's finest laboratory instruments.

COKEYS=What happens to your keyboard when you read a humorous reply on FR and SPEW your favorite sugar-laced beverage on your keyboard. First, your fingers stick to the keys, then later, you end up with multiple replies and repeating characters due to the keys sticking. Later you end up buying a new keyboard.

DESPERADO SNACK= (AKA Party-Mix) What you do for food after being addicted to the net and FR for so long that you eat and sleep at the PC. Finally you get so addicted you won’t even get up to go get FOOD, so, you turn the keyboard upside down and shake it out over a piece of paper. You then funnel the crumbs into your mouth.

DEJACKALED=Removal of definitions that were attacks by certain posters at other posters. Removal of non-productive REPLIES on a thread by refusal to make such a reply yourself, or respond to one made to you.

DUSEKED= to have your fragile house of prosecutorial cards collapse when your witness is FELDMANIZED.

DUSEK’S MADNESS= the affliction someone has who knowingly attempts to send an innocent man to the death chamber in spite of glaring exculpatory evidence.

FAULKERNIZED= a natural process whereby maggots destroy a month's worth of court testimony in two hours.

FIRECRACKERS = Posters on a thread that appear as: A bunch of noise and sparks, a little fire, but mostly smoke, and then after a while, they are gone.

FISHES AND LOAVES PIZZA= A seeming unending supply of pizza. Can be bought at NOON on a Friday, and it will feed a family of 5, then will feed the same family of 5 + 2 more guests until 8:30pm, then will feed Mom,Dad, and four guests around 2am Saturday Morning.

HELLOCINATING= the Swing Set's delusional belief that everyone they met wanted to come home with them.

HIGH LYING VAN DAMS=Description of the parents of Danielle Van Dam who were repeatedly getting HIGH while their daughter disappeared and met her death. Who now have exhibited a pattern of repeated lying about their activities to police, in the PRELIMs and in the TRIAL. In the meanwhile their daughter may have suffered unbelievable horrors until she met her death, yet they continued to lie. Even know, when finding or convicting the killer is of prime importance, they continue to hide the truth and protect their friends. Also they have gone on, after their daughter’s death.

THE IMMACULATE ABDUCTION= The kidnapping of Danielle Van Dam by an unknown (Alias SUPER NINJA DAVE), who broke into a locked house, which had alarms, and a dog, and a father and three children inside. He kidnapped the young female, while drunk, carried her out of the house, flew her to his motorhome (see caped outfit), and murdered her. While in the house, he left no prints, no DNA, no hairs, no fibers, not one piece of evidence he was ever there, and neither the dog, the father, nor the two other children ever noticed anyone had been in their house and walked past their open bedroom doors.

LORD OF THE FLIES= A ‘rogue’ bug expert that can be hired to come up with an EXACT time of death matching what you need to win the case, when all other experts you hired didn’t give you the answer you wanted. This LOTF’s lives in a far off land with no resemblance to nor familiarity with the conditions where the death occurred. All you have to do is send him a lock of hair, some newt toes, the evaluations and information from the other experts and a big bag of CHEETOS. The info must be sent in an envelope and you must mark on the back, in PIG LATIN, the Time of Death you wish him to devine. HE will utter such phrases as “the activity of bugs on the corpse is the same as animal activity on the sides of a recent volcano, and the hairs are like the trees of the forest and , well, the whole planet, the sun, the moon, are like the molecules on the skin cell of a person from the next dimension, and they are just a molecule of a hair on the….., uh,hhhh, what was I, oh yeah , TIME OF DEATH IS ……….”

This expert ‘s fee is very high, due to the fact that he lives so far away, and, well, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH a DECENT BAG of MAUI WOWEEE cost these days ! MAGNETOMANIAC= A suspect who devises theories of how the "immaculate abduction" took place.

SWING-SET= For those who don't like playing in the sand box. Usually a set of six, who share the set and enjoy highs and lows.
